    About this audiobook

    This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

    Vedas are the most ancient scriptures known to us today. They are not just religious texts but are storehouses of vast knowledge, both worldly as well as spiritual. However, these voluminous texts are shrouded in mystery that seem to be unresolvable.

    This book tries to unravel some of these mysteries and throws lot of light on often misunderstood aspects of these scriptures.

    This is the second part of the series “Unsolved mysteries”.
